| edtherenderman | Scratch Built McDonnell XP-67 | Build | 13-Dec-20 20:11 |  | | Views : 245 | | Weathers getting cold and wet in the PacNW so started working on the XP-67 again. I modeled the cockpit using Blender and printed out on my 3D printer. Photo references are really hard to find. I was able to find three photos on the internet. One is of the left side of the cockpit. One is looking forward ¾ view from right to left so that you can see some of the left side and the dash board. The other is from to top showing the dashboard, floor boards, rudder pedals and a little of the sides. I could not find photos of the right side or the seat. So I use contemporary aircraft (P-38 and P-47) as references. |

The XP-67 went through a lot of versions on the two prototypes built. They had a lot of problems with engine cooling and eventually had to use “Cuffed” propellers to get more airflow into the wing leading edge intakes. I decided to model one of the later versions that used the cuffs. |
